Capacity / Expansion 3200

Hi there,

I could not exactly find the answer in this forum so hopefully somebody can give me advise.

We have a 3200 ready NAS. In the NAS there where 6 drives of 1 TB. The total capacity was (guess) 5 T. We added 3 more drives each 2 TB. The NAS did his work and added the drives etc. Do note that the NAS was not rebooted.

Now we see this:

Knl 1 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 2 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 3 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 4 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 5 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 6 : WDC WD1002FBYS-02A6B0 [931 GB] 927 GB
Knl 7 : WDC WD2003FYYS-02W0B1 [1863 GB] 927 GB
Knl 8 : WDC WD2003FYYS-02W0B1 [1863 GB] 927 GB
Knl 9 : WDC WD2003FYYS-02W0B1 [1863 GB] 927 GB

3240 GB (50%) of 6453 GB used.

This should be more.

Does the system needs to reboot to complete it and the capacity will then grow?

Thanks.

Marcel

  • Hi mdgm,

    Disk was inserted yesterday, and after a long automated procedure indeed the expansion went OK!
